Keep whiskey, beer and wine tasting notes, and find the details you want to remember. Shloop keeps your note data in an encrypted archive on this device and builds My Taste here too, keeping the preferences you choose separate from what your notes show.

Fine-tune its detailed values and add your own memos. β’ Photos and context β Add several photos, choose a cover, and keep ratings, weather, places and paired food with your notes. β’ Drafts β Save even before the details are ready. Come back later to finish your note. Find your records and explore your taste β’ Search and browse β Find, sort and filter your saved tasting notes. Writing, searching and reading your archive work without an account or internet connection. β’ My Taste β Set optional preferences as a starting point.

Read the news you choose β’ RSS and bookmarks β With an internet connection, subscribe to feeds and keywords, then bookmark posts you want to return to. Full articles open on the publisher's page.

Restoring a backup replaces this device's archive data with the backup's contents. App settings stay unchanged. * The readable ZIP is not encrypted and cannot restore the archive. Shloop creates it on this device without uploading it to the web. * Some screens may show ads. When a rewarded ad is available, completing it and receiving its reward removes Shloop's banner ads, including note-detail banners, on this device for 8 hours from the reward time. * Shloop is for personal record-keeping, not professional appraisal or certification. * Developer email: predefy.dev@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Beanchive at none against Shloop's shown. Beanchive also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
